Today
I feel exactly Istanbul Sunser Orange! With its stunning profile of
domes and minarets ... one of the most romantic cities in the world ..

Never been?It's
the city of contradictions .. straddling East and West .. between Asia
and Europe .. between Islam and Cristanesimo .. among women with Burka
and girls that seem just descended from the runways of Paris Fashion
Week.. between wealth and poverty ... between historical buildings and
modern skyscrapers... the colorful and chaotic bazaars full of rich
banquet overflowing with beautiful Turkish trinkets, carpets, spices and
jewels, trendy shops and supermarkets ... between illiteracy and
renowned universities ...

It
's a place that holds many secrets .. must be observed in silence at
any time of day to be embroiled .. the sights and sounds of the city
have a hypnotic power ..able to engage fully in the rhythms of the
bazaar, of prayer, of the mosques of the sea .. the song of the muezzin
.. the hammam ..Do
not forget to try the Raki, an aniseed-based alcoholic beverage, plus a
cup of "Afiyet olsun" the famous turkish coffee and sandwiches with
seafood!______________________________________________________________________ Tempe, United States of America

ARCHITETTURA

Tempe Urban LivingBALDINGER
ARCHITECTURAL STUDIO Tempe Urban Living is a fifteen unit urban infill
project located in the university town of Tempe, Arizona. The dwellings
are designed as modern Tri-level units. The three levels are connected
by an open stairwell that acts a light shaft, drawing light from a large
skylight at the top, deep into the dwelling unit. Semi enclosed roof
top terraces expand the livable space year round and frames views of the
city’s skyline.

The
dwellings are open-plan, uncomplicated and feature solar shading,
energy efficient mechanical systems, enhanced day-lighting and
minimalist Architectural detailing. Extensive Italian tile surfacing,
Italian kitchens and cabinets, European appliances and plumbing fixtures
complement the minimalist design and enhance the modern living
experience.A
simple palate of forms and building materials is employed. Sand blasted
masonry is exposed both at the exterior and interior of the project to
contrast with the brightly colored exterior “rain screen” cement board
cladding and the smooth surfaces of the interior Italian tile.

In
the sleepy Istanbul district of Eskiköy stands the former whirling
dervish house of Adem Dede. Over the space of five days of an Istanbul
heatwave, six lives weave a story of corporate wheeling and dealing,
Islamic mysticism, political and economic intrigue, ancient Ottoman
mysteries, a terrifying new terrorist threat, and a nanotechnology with
the potential to transform every human on the planet.

About Me

Dnt know why...but every day I wake up with a colour in my mind...
I cnt forget that during all day ... and each decision I make depends on that... from breakfast to bedtime pajamas!
Strange? Interesting?Crazy? or.... just ME?!
I love to create .. and I need that!
It make me feel alive.. that it's an outfit, a dress, a cake, an interior doesnt matter! There's ever the way to make it better! :D
So the rule is: observe, choose and then trasform and match, the part I like the most! .. shopping time is just one link in a long chain ..
